Harvey Norman Scholarship Program

The University of Western Sydney welcomes the
generous support of Harvey Norman in funding the Harvey Norman Scholarship
Program.

This scholarship program aims to recognise
excellence in Greater Western Sydney and help students realise their potential,
with a total of thirteen exceptional UWS students named as Harvey Norman scholars
for 2015. As part of the program each student will receive a scholarship for
the duration of his or her degree.

These future leaders, who are studying a wide
variety of courses at UWS including medical science, midwifery, psychology,
teaching, criminology and community justice, and computer science, come from
diverse backgrounds and cultures.

What unites them is the aspiration to create a
better life for themselves and their families through education, and a shared desire
to succeed through hard work and determination.

One of those is Arezo Masoomy, a second-year
medical science student, who came to Australia as a refugee from Afghanistan,
and has excelled in her studies.

Arezo, who is the first in her family to go to
university, would ultimately like study medicine, and said the financial
support will help her achieve her dreams.

"Receiving this scholarship will help me with my
study expenses, particularly the costs of textbooks and tuition fees," says
Arezo.

Katie Page, a UWS Foundation Council member, said
she is proud to support talented students like Arezo, as well as UWS's unique
place in the region.

'Harvey Norman is so
proud to be rewarding hard work and furthering the potential of students at the
University of Western Sydney," said Ms Page.

"Western Sydney is where
Harvey Norman's success began in Auburn, and it is fitting to be involved in
supporting the University that is so vital to securing the region's future
success.

"I encourage business
and community to get behind UWS by supporting scholarships for students who
represent this region – they are bright, hardworking, determined and diverse."

"Higher education provides a foundation on
which people can fulfill their aspirations, support themselves and their
families, build their careers, and ultimately helps communities to grow," said
Professor Glover.

"The University of Western Sydney community is very
grateful to Harvey Norman for their generosity, in support of the University's
commitment to making a lasting difference in the Greater Western Sydney region
– a region which is home to nearly 2 million Australians, and a major driving
force in Australia's knowledge economy."By
supporting our students, they are contributing to and sharing in the
University's – indeed, the entire GWS region's – future potential and success."
